@Hitcore Indeed although your work uses AI extensively for the sound and vision, it's very original and creative* and doesn't have that sort of controversy to it so should be safe. I'd tick that AI box though.
@petermarkley from what I've seen of your videos, they're all just you talking to camera (often in the woods!) with your own original content that doesn't have that sort of controversy to it, so I can't see your channel getting nailed.
@Retrokomodo Agreed, your work is also safe from controversy and should only need the AI box ticked when you feature an AI tune to prevent the jaundiced eye of YT AI automoderation from nailing your channel.
Thanks for your replies people. The thing that concerns me most about YT's AI automod is that it can trigger a false positive over nothing and then just kill your channel after three strikes, without any clarity on what caused it, even if there's no AI in it. And as we've seen in this video, "appealing" that decision just goes to the same faulty AI which will inevitably reject your appeal after a few minutes and kill your channel permanently.
I'd hate to earn my living with that threat hanging over me 24/7, killing off my income for good for no reason. I guess it's best to do YT as a side hustle even if it's earning good money so all your eggs aren't in one basket. Spreading their money is how all the rich people operate to protect their wealth.
Me? I have no desire to start up my own channel and wouldn't even know what to talk about. However, if a Real Life friend had a channel, I'd love to muck in and be part of the team. Would also depend on what the channel is about. If it was about knitting, I'd probably pass lol.

Dunno why IMDB links won't unfurl lately. This one's for 1990 movie Misery. If you've watched it, you'll get the reference.
It's so good that I watched it at the cinema at the time and on TV several times since. Might just watch it again soon.
